Back to You Lyrics

[Chorus]
Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late

[Chorus 2]
Over you
I'm never over
Over you
Something about you
It's just the way you move
The way you move me

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I'm so good at forgetting
And I quit every game I play
But forgive me, love
I can't turn and walk away
This way

[Chorus]
Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
With your silhouette
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Should have smiled in that picture
If it's the last that I'll see of you
It's the least that you
Could not do

[Bridge]
Leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
Leave the light on
For me too
For me too
For me too

Yeah

[Chorus 3]
Back to me
I know that it comes
Back to me
Doesn't it scare you
Your will is not as strong
As it used to be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
